About this audio guide
This audio guide to Bergen Kunsthall starts in the spring of 1941, when German soldiers arrived at a lakeside art gallery with orders to make it into something else. It follows the people who have reshaped its rooms with their hands, from occupying troops to today's installation crew and the staff who run Landmark, the café named after architect Ole Landmark. Best heard standing on Rasmus Meyers allé, facing the entrance.
